Holodomor Memorial Ground Breaking Ceremony – Toronto

Opening remarks by Mayor John Tory

The Holodomor is the name given to the genocide by famine that occurred in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. Millions of Ukrainians perished as victims of a man-made famine under Joseph Stalin’s regime, with 25,000 dying each day at the peak of the famine.

The Toronto Branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress has obtained approval of a treed area at Exhibition Place from the City of Toronto as the site for the location of a Holodomor Memorial.
